"Once we have begun to shine with radiance in deed and word, brilliant
with the beauty of every kind of virtue, then Christ Himself - the
pure sacrifice, the ever-living light Who shines forth from the Father
like a sun from the sun, a ray gleaming out without beginning and
without motion in distance - Christ wishes to gather us together as
our host, He shows this clearly by taking up His ever-virgin mother
from this earth today as queen of human nature - that mother in whose
womb He Who is God took our form in a way totally beyond our power to
describe."
St. Andrew of Crete.

cords of his sin. He shall die for lack of instruction, And in the
greatness of his folly he shall go astray." Proverbs 5:22-23

The Bible reading for the 13th of Misra, August 19th, is:
2 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them
up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured
before them. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like
snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah
appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Then
Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here;
and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one
for Elijah-- 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were
greatly afraid. 7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice
came out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son. Hear Him! 8
Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but
only Jesus with themselves. 9 Now as they came down from the mountain,
He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had
seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept
this word to themselves, questioning what
the rising from the dead meant. 11 And they asked Him, saying, Why do
the scribes say that Elijah must come first? 12 Then He answered and
told them, Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And
how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many
things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I say to you that Elijah
has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is
written of him. (Mark 9:2-13)
